A controlled substance is generally a drug or chemical whose manufacture, possession and use is regulated by a government, such as illicitly used drugs or prescription medications that are designated by law. Some treaties, notably the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and the United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, provide internationally agreed-upon "schedules" of controlled substances, which have been incorporated into national laws; however, national laws usually significantly expand on these international conventions.
Some precursor chemicals used for the production of illegal drugs are also controlled substances in many countries, even though they may lack the pharmacological effects of the drugs themselves. Substances are classified according to schedules and consist primarily of potentially psychoactive substances and anabolic steroids. The controlled substances do not include many prescription items such as antibiotics.
In the United States, the Drug Enforcement Administration is the federal government agency responsible for suppressing illegal drug use and distribution by enforcing the Controlled Substances Act, which regulates both the drugs themselves and certain precursors. Some U.S. states have additional restrictions for substances which might or might not be regulated by the federal government. During the Obama Administration, the federal government also voluntarily suspended enforcement of federal laws restricting marijuana where people were operating in compliance with state law.
Some states in the U.S. have statutes against health care providers self-prescribing and/or administering substances listed in the Controlled Substance Act schedules. This does not forbid licensed providers from self-prescribing medications not on the schedules.
The term Controlled Drug in the United Kingdom (CD) is used for substances governed by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

Une est un composé chimique, biochimique ou naturel, capable d'altérer une ou plusieurs activités neuronales et/ou de perturber les communications neuronales. La consommation de drogues par l'Homme – afin de modifier ses fonctions physiologiques ou psychiques, ses réactions physiologiques et ses états de conscience – n'est pas récente. Certaines drogues peuvent engendrer une dépendance physique ou psychologique. L'usage de celles-ci peut avoir pour conséquences des perturbations physiques ou mentales.
